The elements of design include: line [linear patterns attracting the eye to the focal point]; form [three dimensional shape]; texture [surface appearance of materials]; color [use of tints, tones, shades of hues, as well as black, gray and white]; the pleasing way in which lines, textures, sizes and colors are blended or contrasted; and the tying together of the parts by the combination of good design, balance and harmony. Balance Visual stability, regardless of whether design is symmetrical or asymmetrical; determined by the relative sizes of materials and relative darkness of lightness and the placement of them. Functionality Appropriateness of arrangement for use intended and soundness of construction. Creativity The use of plant materials and design principles in a particularly creative, original and unique manner. 4
